A couple of years ago I made mummy meatloaf. It's so fun, but so much food for two and a half of us. The solution?
Mummy Meatballs!

(And if you're into gore, you could even say they are floating in blood! Ew!)

I have to admit I'm kind of overly pleased with myself right now. These were perfect! They are relatively easy to make and I actually like the idea of my pasta and meatball wrapped up in one little package.

Here's what I did:

Make meatballs.

While they are cooking make fettucini. It is very important that you do not overcook it. Al dente! Drain the pasta and arrange on a cookie sheet. This makes it easier to work with.

I used pre-sliced and packaged mozzarella, cut it, and wrapped it around my meatball.

I wrapped one piece of the pasta around the meatball which then held the cheese in place.

Keep wrapping pasta around the meatball to form your little mummy.

Place on a baking sheet.

I put the tray in our toaster/convection oven at 400 degrees to melt the cheese.

Next, I used a toothpick to make indentations where the eyes would go. I placed peppercorns in the holes and the melted cheese held them in place. You could also use little capers. Serve in a bowl of red sauce.
